I posted earlier this week about DS (21 months) fever and whether we should check his temp at night. We are now on day 5 of fever over 103, today finally the tylenol/ibuprofen seem to be making a difference and he is not so tired. We had mentioned Roseola to them, but they did blood work on Tuesday and again today and they are 95% sure he actually has mono. Still waiting on the definitive blood result.

Anyone else have a toddler / preschooler who has had mono? What did it mean for going back to daycare? I feel like you are contagious for SO LONG with mono, and he still puts stuff in his mouth. We took the entire week off this week with vacation days but don't have any more left, so I'm thinking I might have to take unpaid time off if he can't go back.

Any tips much appreciated if you've gone through this!
